Hyperliquid, the largest on-chain perpetual futures exchange by trading volumes, said it is backing a new Washington-based policy organization with 1 million HYPE tokens (around $29 million at current prices), as crypto firms try to influence U.S. rules for decentralized finance.
According to a press release published today, Feb. 18, the so-called “Hyperliquid Policy Center” — or just HPC — received the tokens from the Hyper Foundation and plans to use them to produce research and lobby for practical regulations on decentralized markets. The foundation is an independent organization that supports the development of the Hyperliquid ecosystem, per the release.
“We will publish technical research, comment on proposed rules and legislation, and serve as a resource for policymakers who want to understand how DeFi really works,” the new organization said in an X post today.
